#4 India vs Bangladesh (Second ODI, 2015)

Mustafizur Rahman starred in dismantling India

Bangladesh, often termed as the underdogs of international cricket, proved it wrong after winning 5 ODI series in their home. They started the winning streak against Pakistan and continued to beat India, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Afghanistan. It was clearly the rise of the Bangladesh cricket.

After winning the first match of the 3-game series, Bangladesh was very positive and looked strong. They continued their dominance in the second game as well. Mustafizur Rahman was the star of the match.

His yorkers were bang on target and beautifully disguised slow deliveries worked out really well. None of the batsmen could pick him up. Rohit Sharma was the first one to go. Later in the innings, Raina and Dhoni looked well set when Mustafizur triggered a staggering collapse. The tail-enders were absolutely perplexed.

He picked up 6 wickets in his 10 over bowling quota by giving away just 43 runs, which was quite brilliant. After Mustafizur Rahman's wonderful bowling performance, the Bangladeshi batsmen did the rest to seal their first ever bilateral series win against India.

Mustafizur followed up his five-for on debut with a six-wicket haul in the second game, becoming only the second bowler after Zimbabwe's Brian Vitori to take fifers in their first two ODIs.
